Justin Forsett has a new perspective on fantasy football now that he knows it helps keep those on the inside entertained.

Forsett, the Baltimore Ravens running back by way of Cal, discovered on a recent visit to San Quentin State Prison that the broken arm that limited his play last year was a topic of conversation to some of the inmates.

“As we were walking through, inmates were running up to me, hugging me, whispering to each other about me, yelling, `Hey, yo, Forsett, I had you on my fantasy team last season,’ ” Forsett said in a blog post Monday by way of Fox Sports. “I was like, WHAT, you all have fantasy football in here!? It brings a new perspective to a season ending injury when you have an inmate tell you he had you on his fantasy team . . . and I didn’t get any points for this guy.”

Forsett, who gained 1,266 yards in 2014, making him a high draft pick in some circles, said he was sorry. He had 641 yards in 10 games last season.

“You know, I had to apologize,” Forsett said. “It was a surreal experience that these guys know who you are and are playing fantasy football. (I guess they get some type of good behavior privileges).”

Forsett visited San Quentin as part of a program for at-risk youth who meet with inmates and hear stories of how they ended up in prison.

“It’s sort of like a `scared straight’ approach, but not entirely,” Forsett said. “It’s more of a `you don’t have to do what I did’ warning message.”

The experience, Forsett, was eye-opening.

“We had a chance to stand inside their prison cell, which is like a New York City closet,” Forsett said. “You’ve got a bunk bed and a roommate. If you’re on top of the bunk bed and on your side, your shoulder touches the ceiling. And the toilet is right there with them . . . I didn’t actually try the food, but they said it was horrible.”

The dispute stems from different interpretations of the team’s 20-year lease agreement. The Warriors argue the team has no obligation to pay an estimated $40 million remaining debt for renovations to the arena once it departs for San Francisco next year, while Coliseum authority officials insists the team must cover the costs in full.
